Isaiah 11:2-9

2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of advice and power, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.

3He will gladly bear the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what his eyes see or decide by what his ears hear.

4He will judge the poor justly. He will make fair decisions for the humble people on earth. He will strike the earth with a rod from his mouth. He will kill the wicked with the breath from his lips.

5Justice will be the belt around his waist. Faithfulness will be the belt around his hips.

6Wolves will live with lambs. Leopards will lie down with goats. Calves, young lions, and year-old lambs will be together, and little children will lead them.

7Cows and bears will eat together. Their young will lie down together. Lions will eat straw like oxen.

8Infants will play near cobras’ holes. Toddlers will put their hands into vipers’ nests.

9They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain. The world will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord like water covering the sea.
